Grace's Christmas Party

Grace had her class Christmas party today at school. The kids all volunteered what they would each bring and Grace wanted to bring ice cream. So, after a busy morning I headed up to the school for her party. They had ice cream, cookies, the cutest snowmen cupcakes. rice crispy treats, chips, veggies and fruit and......SODA, which was a huge hit and a treat for all the kids.

Grace also gave Mrs. Snyder her Christmas present which was a hurricane globe with her initial on it filled with a candle and cranberries. She loved it!

Mrs. Snyder was impressed with the Christmas cards I made

and she loved her Upper Case Living hurricane globe.

Carly's mom, Erin, is also Grace's Girl Scout leader. Grace gave her Christmas present to her today also.

Carly's Dad has been in Iraq for the last 8 months or so and got to come home for his 2 week R&R during Christmas. Welcome home Perry!

About Me

I am a stay at home mom to Grace, age 15, and Zach, age 12. Being a Mom is the hardest job that I've ever had but also the most rewarding. Both Grace and Zach bring so much joy, love and laughter to my life. In addition to being a stay at home mom, I am also a Senior Consultant with Thirty-One Gifts and a part-time Retail Merchandiser with Hallmark. So, I have plenty to keep me busy! My husband, Dave, retired from the USMC in 2013 and we moved from Camp Lejeune, NC to Madison, AL to be closer to my family. He is now the Logistics Manager for a company in Decatur, AL and I couldn't be more proud of his service to our country and his perseverance and flexibility in transitioning to the civilian world. He is an amazing father and husband and I love him more each and every day. On a lighter note, I love sushi, sweet iced tea, skinny cinnamon dolce lattes and cinnamon scones from Starbucks...and Elvis!
